Pediatrics Neuro-Ooncology

We can’t say that the children are the small adults. Their brain and body are still developing and their needs are very different. And also their tumors are different. Most of the frequent brain tumors are not the same as the most common adult brain tumors.

Understanding tumors
There are many different types of brain tumor which are based upon a tumors cell structure, rate of cell growth, and other characteristics. The name and classification may change as more information is available or because the tumor has changed over time.
Most pediatric tumors are primary tumors which are the masses and growth of the abnormal cells which occurs in the brain, spine, tissue and the structure that are to it. Primary tumors are classified into two categories — some are cancerous (malignant) and some are noncancerous (benign). But both can be life-threatening.
When a child’s body needed for development or repair it itself makes cells. A tumor develops when normal and abnormal cells multiply when they are not needed. To describe the normal and abnormal cells, “benign” and “malignant” terms are used when viewed under the microscope. Tumors that are very similar to the normal cells are known as “benign” and which are very different to the normal cells are known as “malignant” based upon the microscopic appearance because there are many other factors to consider.

Treatment and Prognosis
Prognosis forecast about the future course of the diseases and the tendency of recovery. Prognosis and treatment depend upon the type of tumor, its location, growth rate, whether it has spread, and child’s age and general health. Treatment for brain tumors in children is typically quite different from the adult brain tumor treatment, so it’s very important to appoint the expertise and experience of pediatric specialists in neurology and cancer. Treatment option can be varied and can be strongly influenced by the age of the child. Children with brain tumor also have a much better prognosis than the adult with the similar condition.

Star of the brain -Neural Stem cells

On the off chance that you’re new with stem cells, we all start our lives as a little bundle of them in the womb. These astonishing cells can alter their appearance, morphing into each pro cell in the body. The stem cells present in brain called as neural stem cell – separates to become the complex blend of profoundly particular cells shaping our ‘grey matter’, including cells called astrocytes. These star-shaped cells play fantastically imperative parts in the brain, by protecting other cells and repairing those that gotten to be damaged. A stem cell’s capacity to lay calm and, when required, to self-renew plays a key part in re-establishing and keeping up the wellbeing of our organs. Shockingly, cancer stem cells have that same property permitting them to avoid radiation and chemotherapy medicines which leads to tumor regrowth. The brain stem cells, which ordinarily direct brain improvement and support, inadvertently communicate with brain cancer cells in dangerous tumors, c

Stubborn headaches There is no clear-cut type of a headache that can forecast whether or not the person having a brain tumor. The way to analyze is to be on the lookout for a new daily stubborn headache that won’t seem to go away or do not respond to any treatment. These headaches are often present when you wake up in morning and tend to worsen over time. These stubborn headaches depend upon the size or growth rate of the tumor of the brain. Loss of vision Patients experience blurred or double vision due to the tumor present on or near to the optical nerve. Including this other types of brain tumor cause abnormal eye movements and make changes or loss of vision, depending on the size and location of the tumor.  This symptom often sees a pituitary tumor that compresses chiasm, or part of the visual pathway.  Brain tumor or cancer is just one of many surprising disease eye doctors can diagnose first.

The brain is the most imperative organ in the body. Each and every action of our body including the ability to move, think, learn and emotions are controlled by these spongy tissues.  When some malignant cell growth occur called brain tumor, it starts infecting surrounding healthy brain tissue quickly. 4  Strategies to Prevent & Heal From Brain Tumors Naturally Sleep Our body needs a satisfactory amount of sleep for the survival as well as the well-being of our brain. Detoxification pathway of our body which is also known as glymphatic system naturally removes toxic waste during the day. This system is active at night and gives a chance to flush the toxins using cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Especially for the chemotherapy patients, sleep allows the cells to repair and restore tissue. Breathe in Frankincense Essential Oil By doing stress reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga and breathing exercises can reduce the stress of brain. Inhaling frankincense
